There is a lot of buzz around the internet about David Kernell, son of Tennessee Democratic Rep. Mike Kernell, being investigated in connection with hacking Sarah Palin’s personal email account. Although no federal law enforcement agencies have confirmed David Kernell is the target of an investigation, his father has acknowledged that the numerous posts refer to his son:
“The person they’re talking about is my son,” said Kernell. “But we know of no investigation. I have not been contacted. He has not been contacted,” Kernell told a Memphis TV station.
However, WBIR reports that David Kernall has been contacted by federal investigators:
The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell confirmed on Thursday.
Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal email account.
The FBI and the Secret Service started a formal investigation on Wednesday into the hacking.
David Kernell is a student at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Mike Kernell said he spoke to his son on Thursday, as he does on a regular basis.
Kernell otherwise declined to comment, or discuss his son’s whereabouts and whether he was in custody.
Reports that Palin’s e-mail had been hacked bounced across blogs and into the news on Thursday.
Here are some screenshots of David Kernell’s facebook, along with some more information.

What else do you call it when you hack into a VP candidates email?It also looks a lot like David Kernell may be responsible for this. He is a self described “Obamacrat” who is the son of Democratic Rep. Mike Kernell of Tennessee. His email address also matches the one used by the person claiming responsibility (Rubico).

Looks politically motivated to me…”I really wanted to get something incriminating which I was sure there would be,” the e-mails said. “I read though the e-mails ALL OF THEMbefore I posted, and what I concluded was anticlimactic, there was nothing there, nothing incriminating, nothing that would derail her campaign as I had hoped, all I saw was personal stuff, some clerical stuff from when she was governor and pictures of her family.” ~Rubico

So funny when CNN or CNBC reports this story they forget to mention that the Representative is a DEMOCRAT, If it had been a REPUBLICAN that would be the first thing mentioned.
Just because you want it so bad, doesn’t mean that you’ll get it.
Bad rumor from bad people.
Dave K,
I have no way of knowing if the information is bad or not, except that nothing I posted is in question, I have reported facts from several sources. I do not accuse anyone of anything either.
I also do not want anything other than to know the truth in the matter and see the person responsible punished.

Gwen Moore’s son in ‘04, this leftist scumbag now. Democrats and their spawn behaving dishonorably isn’t a new phenomenon.This might get more interesting as we find out more about Kernell’s apparent David Plouffe connection.(Obama’s campaign manager)

lulz
Lol yeah any idiot with the ability to hack knows he is treading water. It doesn’t take a genius to proxy himself and obviously someones left a false trail. No one can be that stupid to leave such an obvious trail.
Fall guy anyone?
